Hey guys, For my 1st cycle I was going to run exactly what Arnold Jr. had posted earlier. 10 weeks Test E with 4 weeks dbol and the 30 days of clomid/nolvadex. But now my friend who gets the stuff says he can only get Sustanon. Is this ok for a beginner? to use Sust? and how should the cycle be ran now?? any help would be awesome guys....otherwise I'll just keep trying to get Test E. im a little dissapointed now because thats what i had wanted.
That cycle was more or less of a guideline, it is by no means set in stone as to what exactly should be done. Also, the reason for that thread was not so much as to give exact cycle advice, but rather the other info was what I believed to be more valuable to first timers. As for the cycle itself, those recommendations were made by Crankin'steiN From Fitnessgeared.com, not me. Now those recommendations are fine and good results would come from this cycle, however, my personal preference is to run "fuller" cycles, ones that run the entire course of the months given, as well as slightly longer. I prefer to usually advise on 12wk minimum cycles and up to 16wk cycles. Now I may self will sometimes run cycles a bit longer then that, 20-24wks, but not allways, 16wks is pretty standard for me, but I normally ever recommend this to people because I truly do not know enough about them to do so...if someone does come on here with a cycle longer then 16wks, I'll give my input, but again I do not make the initial recommendation.
In your case here, sust will be fine. I do prefer to see new guys use test-e or cyp for their first cycle, simply because it is easier to use and you don't have to worry about blood/test levels and all of that...plus with test-e or cyp, you can get by with just 1 or 2 injections per wk, you call. But with sust, I prefer the 3x wk protocol. Yes, you can have good results using sust like you would test-e or cyp, but it's better served 3xwk IMO. Check out the Clinical Studies thread and there is some good info on sust for you there.
